Former Saigon Kick frontman Matt Kraner has checked in with the following update:
"I'm thrilled to announce my first live show of 2024, An Intimate Evening With Matt Kramer, at Bar Nancy in Miami, Thursday April 25. Tickets will be available next week, there will be VIP seating and general admission. PM me if you would like to reserve and I will put you on my presale list. Looking forward to making more of a habit of this."
Kramer performed his first live shows in over five years on October 19th and 20th, 2023 in Miami, Florida at the Luna Star Cafe.
Fan-filmed video from the shows can be veiwed below.
Kramer "I wrote this song ('Spinning Round') with Scott Migone when I was 29 years old in 1997. Crazy thing is the lyrics are more relevant now than they were back then. Really wish I would have recorded this version of the ending on my album in 2002. Might have to do a re-release."
Saigon Kick was formed in Miami, Florida in 1988. The band is best known for their second album, The Lizard, released in 1992. It peaked at #80 on the Billboard 200, driven by the single "Love Is On The Way", which reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Both the album and the single have been certified gold.
Kramer recorded two albums with Saigon Kick before leaving in 1993 during the recording sessions for the band's third record, Water. The band reunited in 2012 for a string of shows in the US, eventually putting the band to rest in 2015.
Kramer released his War & Peas solo album in 2002.
